The goal of this book is to help you get a job with a top management consulting company. Its primary audience is current and prospective MBA students, although it should also be very useful to anyone going through one of the other channels into consulting, including undergraduate recruiting and experienced hires.
It gives candidates an in-depth, insider look at the entire process of recruiting, including how to get the most out of on-campus events, how to network, how to prepare for interviews, and how to succeed in interviews.
Why should you listen to me (or buy this book)? I believe I’m in a fairly unique situation that gives me a lot of insight into consulting recruiting. I’ve been through it as a student, a consultant, and now a career coach at Tuck, a top Business School, where it’s my job to counsel students and help them get their dream consulting job.
Each year I provide personal counseling and coaching to hundreds of students who are trying to get a job in consulting. Many of the students I’ve counseled are now working at top consulting companies like McKinsey, Bain and BCG or are headed there soon.
I also work closely with recruiters to help them achieve their goal of hiring the best candidates. Part of my job is to understand the nuances between firms, and to keep abreast of how each firm runs its recruiting and interviewing process. I do this by maintaining close relationships with both senior consultants and recruiting staff at each firm and regularly talking with them about these issues.
